A series of studies from Japan's Hiroshima University found that people are more focused and careful after they look at adorable images.

In one of the studies, researchers had participants play the game Operation. They were asked to work at their own pace and try to get the highest score before they were divided into two groups.

One group was then shown seven photos of puppies and kittens, and asked to rate how cute and exciting (um...very!) each pic was. Another group was shown pics of adult cats and dogs and ask to rate them, too. Afterward, they all played another round of Operation.

Get this: People who saw the puppy and kitten pics did 44 percent better in the second round than they did the first time. And the cuter they thought the photos they saw were, the better their score was.

Another study asked participants to find a pattern out of a series of letters. People who saw cute photos beforehand were faster at spotting the pattern.

So, basically, to be more detail-oriented at work, you should look at pics of cute baby animals. Don't have to ask us twice…
